Delayed introduction pt1
Hello there, all four (growing?!) of my readers.
I thought I'd take time to introduce myself, tell the world around me who I am, what I am and perhaps most importantly, why I am. I believe I will post this as a link through my Facebook aswell, attentionwhore as I am, sofar the only people who have recieved a link here are my closest and most trusted friends, and those ofcourse who snooped my Facebook link to my website the last 2 or so days I've had it there. And I think one, perhaps two in VildaBrax recieved a link while I was fooling around with my design. Which ofcourse still sucks, and I don't know what to do with it, and why it's taking so long for my help (Yes, I'm getting help with it....or so I think!) to get around to finnish it!
Sooo, here we are! Let's talk about the wonderful subject, ME! My name is Johan Olof Nilsson, and I am 27 years old closing up on 28, which means I'll soon be 30. Which to me feels incredibly weird, as I feel about 18 perhaps 19 years old. I was born and raised in Täby, north of Stockholm, I have two sisters, both older than me, and only my father still lives.
I'm going to skip talking about my time in school, because that's just a part of my life I don't want to get into. But I will let you know some things that went on beside school. What I liked to do and what I think of when I look back.
As pretty much all around me know, I'm what people would call a nerd, I play ALOT, mostly that time is spent with World of Warcraft (WoW). But where did it all begin?
I can actually remember the first game I ever played, my mom had borrowed a Mac Classic from her job, it had 4 shades of grey, and it had Dig Dug! The goal of this game was that you dug your way through dirt, driving over the gems, bags of golds and cherrys, avoiding the monsters. I have a picture in my mind of the very first map, how the monsters would start in the top right corner and you'd be somewhere down left. It was simply amazing!
What happened after that is still fuzzy, but later we got a Mac LC I believe it was, and I had games such as Shuffle Puck Café, Tetris, Civilization1, Number Muncher, Dubbelmoral, Prince of Persia. Ofcourse we shared these games between us kids around the block, who all had Mac's back in the day. The first game I ever got that was my own, that was bought, was Pipe Dream. Where you would place pipes between point A and point B using various pipes, a puzzle game. I might actually still have the box for it somewhere, if I don't I atleast kept it until I moved to my first own apartment, which was some 6 years ago.
So that was how my computer gaming begun, but I can't remember the first time I played a console game, but I remember the first console that was my very own, a NES 8-bit, I still have it to this day but it needs a tune up if I want to play it again. And I still have my SEGA, and my Nintendo 64 and my favourite, PS2 Limited Silver Line Edition!
These days I spend most time dedicated to playing WoW, and all this time have made me be amongst the better players out there. When my guild and I brought down a special boss (Sindragosa 10man, heroic mode), we were the 600th something guild in the world, I could actually look it up, but let's say 600th exactly. That would have made us players number 6001 to 6010, out of 11 million (or is it even more today?), that would mean we belong to the top 0.1%, to me that's quite cool. I'm not the best, nor do I wish to be. I play for fun, but progress in the game is fun to me, given that I get to share it with people I enjoy playing with. The guild VildaBrax!
More to come in the next part, stay tuned! :)
